Mel hey everyone, just to give a quick update. In the past week we have traveled from Oz to Singapore, to Kuala Lumpur, to Phuket and am now in Bangkok. Absolutely love Asian cities however we are looking forward to heading out to the Southern islands to the full moon party on Saturday (if we can get a flight). Bangkok is amazing, we are staying on Khao San Road (the one in the beach), and fitting in plenty of shopping, and massages which cost 3 pounds for an hour!! Love it! Hopefully this time next week we will be lying on a white sandy beach soaking up the sun- we really need to hurry and get a tan!!

Mel's Dad Guess who won the boat race??

Mel Sorry i have been so rubbish at updating the site recently, i promise when we are a bit more tanned i will put some photos on!!!!! and i will get round to updating the journal its just so hard staying indoors when we can be out in the sunshine!!!

Katie (Perro) hey mellish, hope you're ok and not being eaten by wolves or anything. i've been looking at your site and its made me so jealous, especially since i don't think i've seen sunlight for about 5 months! think of me revising when you're getting a tan! keep in touch, katie x

Celia Feetam Hi Mel, Great pictures - what a fab site! glad you are OK and having such a good time. I am in New Zealand in June - tell them to expect me!!! Celia

Zoe's dad ...oh, I didn't mention....Colin and Gill Wills, from the church choir who often go into the 'Boot and Slipper' said they went in on Thursday lunchtime and it was so packed they could hardly get a table! The waitress staff were rushed off their feet, poor things. Thought you'd like to know that. love, dad

Zoe's dad So pleased its going so well for you both, that you're keeping safe and well and that you're enjoying NZ. It certainly sounds beautiful and facinating, and good pratical geography for Mel. Glad the camper van is working out. The weather will get better of course as you go north. I told you, I think, that there's a 200-pounds a day limit on your Visa card - hence the problem withdrawing a large amount for the van. Good to see you're keeping an eye on the money. Absolutely nothing to report here - same old same old. Uni is ok though as usual difficult to enthuse the yoof. Looking forward to spring and Andalucia and getting away for a while, even if its only for two weeks. Granny and grandad send their love - I've sent the pix of you and James in Hong Kong - any others, keep them coming. Its a great website -well done. And keep safe and keep in touch. Love dad

king tom well well popalini, hows it hangin? mines hanging a bit to the left today, hope your having fun, nothing intresting has happen here. i ate some lettuce today, thats it thats the only intresting thing that has happened! have fun monkey chops on your travels, king tom yo!

Zoe's mum Swanky site girls! Just got back from Jack's christening - Tom was in his element...there was a bouncy castle & helium balloons. Continue to have fun, that's an order. Mum xxxx

Mel and Zoe Oh my god we are hiring a camper van, we pick it up tomorrow and is ours for two whole weeks!!!!!!!! How excited are we??? its got everything...... hob, microwave, dvd player and a bed wat more could you possibly need?????

Dad What happens to water going down plugholes at the equator?

Graham Hi Mel and Zoe Just I would check your site before the mob arrive. Glad to hear that Stu, Kylie and Ian showed you some of thier Hong Kong. I really like it around that area. Life with them can be a bit of a trap for young players, Jean and I have been caught especially on the ride back from the seafood restraunt. I would imagine that you would be experiencing the contrast with New Zealand from my experience an evening out with kiwis can be just as disasterous as with Ozzies! It sounds as though you are enjoying yourselves, Ill keep looking at your site when I get chance. Cheerio from deep in the jungle in darkest africa

Dad See you have moved to NZ, nice to have an update as to what you have been up to!!
